Paul McCartney, Photographs 1963-64: Eyes of the storm

Please buy a ticket before marking your attendance - details below. Admission is just £5 for those 30 years old & under.

Join us at the recently reopened National Portrait Gallery for an exhibition of Paul McCartney's photographs spanning the years of 1963-1964.

From the website:-

An unprecedented exhibition, revealing – for the first time – extraordinary photographs taken by Paul McCartney.

In this show, we focus on portraits captured by McCartney, using his own camera, between December 1963 and February 1964 – a time when The Beatles were catapulted from a British sensation to a global phenomenon. These never-before-seen images offer a uniquely personal perspective on what it was like to be a ‘Beatle’ at the start of ‘Beatlemania’ – and adjusting from playing gigs on UK stages, to performing to 73 million Americans on The Ed Sullivan Show. At a time when so many camera lenses were on the band, Paul McCartney’s photographs offer a crucial new perspective on the story of a band creating cultural history – in one of its most exciting chapters.

Tickets

Full price tickets cost £22 (without donation), with various concessions available. Those who are 30 years or under can gain admission for just £5 (proof of age will be required).

There will be a social at The Marquis at 51-52 Chandos Place after the event. People are free to view the exhibition at their own pace, so as an estimate we'll start making our way over to there from around about 19:30.
